As the author says in the foreword, these ideas are born \u2018from the need to ask how the effect of architecture could be expanded&nbsp;[&#8230;]&nbsp;and what fantastic results could be achieved by setting unconventional goals to architectural practice\u2019 (page 4). The book also contains the author\u2019s correspondence with the architecture theoretician Leon van Schaik and concludes with a \u2018Manifesto Against the&nbsp;Super-development&nbsp;of Space\u2019 which coins new terms with the enthusiasm akin to Deleuze and Guattari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such,&nbsp;<em>Conceivable Houses&nbsp;<\/em>can be viewed as a practical creativity booster for practicing architects suffering from the shortage of ideas. Similarly to Brian Eno\u2019s \u2018Oblique Strategies\u2019 card set or Valdur Mikita\u2019s&nbsp;<em>\u00c4parduse r\u00f5\u00f5m<\/em>&nbsp;[<em>Joy of Mishap<\/em>], when applied to a particular field of creative endeavour\u2014in this case, the design of buildings. However, limiting oneself to this utilitarian viewpoint would unnecessarily stifle the potential of&nbsp;<em>Conceivable Houses.&nbsp;<\/em>Approaching this book as a sovereign work of literature, which it certainly is, I noticed two possible readings.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Marje-Eelmaa1-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4800\" style=\"width:1047px;height:837px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Marje-Eelmaa1-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Marje-Eelmaa1-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Marje-Eelmaa1-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Marje-Eelmaa1-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Marje-Eelmaa1.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Conceivable Houses. A List of Architectural Ideas. Photo Marje Eelmaa<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first and the obvious reading of&nbsp;the&nbsp;<em>Conceivable Houses&nbsp;<\/em>presents it as a conceptual work: a catalogue of pure ideas, indifferent to their naturalist imaginability or material feasibility. Of literary works of the same ilk, the first two to come to my mind are Lev Rubinstein\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Catalogue of Comedic Novelties&nbsp;<\/em>and Italo Calvino\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Invisible Cities.&nbsp;<\/em>Without a mention of these two, of course, the reviewer of&nbsp;<em>Conceivable Houses&nbsp;<\/em>cannot entertain any hope of escaping unscathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second reading could be described as realist, prosaic, and this is the one which fascinates me more. Several ideas in&nbsp;<em>Conceivable Houses&nbsp;<\/em>are certainly compelling enough to raise the question in the reader: why has the author stopped and not dared to develop the concept beyond the few sentences, to truly flesh out this house and make it more \u2018real\u2019?&nbsp;Certainly at least in several cases the author has clearly felt inspired enough to let the description grow longer than normal and must have exercised restraint for the idea to remain in line with the book\u2019s concept and within the limits of one page.&nbsp;This reading is the opposite of the conceptual reading in the sense that the goal is not to take in a particular idea, but, on the contrary, to find oneself transported through the text into an imaginary environment where no normal or habitual processes can be expected to work. The quintessence of such possible house concepts appears to have been captured on page 188: \u2018a house whose architecture&nbsp;allows&nbsp;observing&nbsp;paranormal phenomena&nbsp;more&nbsp;easily\u2019. Yet, of course, the \u2018Manifesto Against&nbsp;Super-development&nbsp;of Space\u2019, which closes the book, also celebrates proliferation, self-organisation and coincidental metamorphoses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several descriptions of such environments can be found in fantasy and speculative fiction\u2014in the East European cultural space, perhaps the most prominent example could be the Zone from Strugatsky Brothers\u2019&nbsp;<em>Roadside Picnic<\/em>, but also the forest in their&nbsp;<em>Snail on the Slope<\/em>. The Zone has turned out to be a most productive and inspirational image whose shadow has been cast over all Eastern European&nbsp;Ruildings and Wrectures&nbsp;during the last couple of decades (terms coined by Urmo Mets in the \u2018Manifest\u2019). The Area X in Jeff Vander Meer\u2019s Southern Reach Trilogy appears as a modern ecocritical variation of the Zone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few literary works deal with houses as \u2018zones\u2019 of uncertainty. One of the best known examples is Mark Z. Danielewski\u2019s hefty experimental novel&nbsp;<em>House of Leaves<\/em>, but several J. G. Ballard\u2019s earlier short stories also describe psychoanalytical houses which resonate with the pathologies and nightmares of their residents. Truthfully, quite a few Urmo Mets\u2019 conceivable houses sound like a miniature summaries of Ballard\u2019s short stories.&nbsp;The Estonian writer Mehis Heinsaar has also sketched maze-like attics and basements and the image of an&nbsp;<em>ahjualune<\/em>\u2019s<a><sup>*<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp;apartment beneath the kitchen floor (page 105) appears like it could have been borrowed from Heinsaar\u2019s lost notebook that he left in a taxi in Tallinn a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a>*<\/a><sup>*<\/sup>&nbsp;An&nbsp;<em>ahjualune&nbsp;<\/em>(translated as \u2018hobgoblin\u2019 in Urmo Mets\u2019 book) is a character from Estonian folklore. He is a tiny little man with a beard who dwells under the kitchen floor and is capable of eating enormous amounts of food in an instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Diana-Tamane-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4798\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Diana-Tamane-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Diana-Tamane-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Diana-Tamane-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Diana-Tamane-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ajakirimaja.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sven-Vabar_maja-kui-tsoon_foto-Diana-Tamane-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Book launch at Tallinna Architecture Biennale, 2017<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u2018We must trust our thoughts while we sleep.
